Permaculture is an approach to land management and settlement design that adopts arrangements observed in flourishing natural ecosystems. During this meetup we will talk about what it means to have a regenerative mindset towards design and what that entails. And we will look at Permaculture as the base of a family of regenerative design methods like Biomimicry, ecological design, designing with nature, place-based design and bioregional design.

How to Biodesign series

Climate crisis asks for regenerative design. With the meetup series How to Biodesign, BlueCity Lab provides a platform for and by bioneers (pioneers in biodesign). Together with Emma van der Leest (founder of BlueCity Lab, biodesigner and writer of the book Form Follows Organism) and various other hosts we explore the opportunities from a systemic approach to raw material flows, making smart use of the latest knowledge and expertise about circular design, but also from biotechnology and biochemistry.

The monthly meetups facilitate interaction between bioneers who are already working and those who want to get started with biodesign and biofabrication, provide a platform for sharing stories and experiences and actively share knowledge, know-how and insights from the meetups to a broader audience.
